Metrified

adj. composed in a poetic meter

..and thats exactly what the film was… no, i don’t enjoy poetry, but i liked the word connection… and the film ‘Life in a Metro’ …. just wish there was more of irfan khan ..as always, this isn’t a review, but there was another connection in the beginning minutes of the movie, that i thought was very funny..
Sharman Joshi (why can’t we see more of that guy) gives out his uncle’s apartment to his different bosses for their quickie trysts with secretaries… sharman’s neighbours dont get to see the different faces though, their only point of contact is the common wall… and every day, they wait till the night’s peformance ends, so they can go to sleep…
one day, when there are multiple users, they begin to sleep when the second performance starts.. and the wife remarks that her husband should find out what sharman eats…
and definitely in context (though unwittingly) the producer’s name appears on the marquee – ronnie screwvala
until next time, poetry in motion ….

  1. haha…never noticed that…we were sitting in the 2nd row :-(. but yes loved the movie….so real. and i fell in love with irfan khan too in striped shirt and striped ties….:-)

  2. can’t wait to watch metro! have read so many good reviews. btw that sharman joshi bit sounds like a rip off of the movie ‘the apartment”…hmmm..i guess even the best directors in bollywood can’t resist doing an “anu mallick” on hollywood fillums.

  3. i enjoyed the movie .. me wants a goofy dude like irfan .. way too funny.

    Yeah we picked up on the screwala name and it’s a good thing our cinema hall was empty because that had me in stitches 🙂

  4. yes – i did notice the screw-walla thing. funny it was. i liked the whole movie a lot 🙂 except the horse riding finish

  5. ha ha ha … LOL ! its amazing how u always manage to bring out something which none of us mere mortals would have noticed.
    not just this post, but from a lot of your posts, i feel you seem to have multiple points of view on everything 🙂

  6. prero: yeah, and since irfan was horsing around, was okay with it 🙂

    phatichar: just noticed your chocolate box…how’ve you been 🙂
